When I read the first two books in the series, I loved tracing the story in, around, and through the Tucson I know and love. I've hunted for years for more in the series, to no avail, until I stumbled across a reference to the series here on Goodreads. Apparently there ARE more in the series, but they're in ebook form. Fine with me! I flew through this installment, and loved it. The story was well told (although I wish there had been a few more surprises), but the descriptions of many places where action took place (up on Mt. Lemmon and out on the Pinal Highway going towards Florence, particularly) were so right on -- I really love this! Laura Cardinal is smart but not as savvy as she should be, despite some of the training she still reviews from her now-dead mentor, Frank Entwhistle. Ah well, without goof-ups there'd really be no story, right? I really like these books. There is so much story to them. Different story lines, but they all end up intersecting. The boys need to start listening to Laura and, come on J. Carson, let Laura have some semblance of a decent romantic interlude. She deserves it. Every man she is attracted to or has admiration for doesn't need to be a bad guy or end up dead.I know if I told you too much I would give away the many story lines, but I highly recommend these books if you like mystery, suspense, and sometimes a little scary thrown in. Just don't decide you like a character and expect them to be #1 all you think they are and #2 around in the next book.Have I teased you enough?
What do You think about The Devil's Hour (2000)?
Defintely a very unexpected, and sad, ending. Loved all of the twists and turns of the story.
